Agreed (but I wanted to ask anyway).

I think people can install from backports if they want the special
features in PF, PFSYNC, CARP and QUOTA, but if_msk causes kernel panic
on first boot. It looks like a big showstopper to me.
If backporting the driver from HEAD is not acceptable, we could
consider other options, like removing this driver from kernel (and
building it as a module). What do you think?
